​Student learning in our Catholic Elementary School is focused on faith formation, learning and achievement viewing human life as an integration of body, mind, and spirit. Rooted in this vision, Catholic Education fosters the search for knowledge as a lifelong spiritual and academic quest.

The expectations of Catholic graduates, therefore, are described not only in terms of knowledge and skills, but in terms of values, attitudes and actions. Curriculum expectations for student learning are found in the curriculum documents located on the Ontario Ministry of Education website. Faith formation is rooted in the Ontario Catholic School Graduate Expectations of which there are seven overall expectations and fifty-two specific expectations.

Assessment of student learning takes place on a regular basis throughout the school year with regular communication between home and school.

Evaluation of student learning is formally reported three times throughout the school year. The first report card is a progress report focusing on learning skills and work habits. This report is sent home early in November followed a week later by Parent/Teacher interviews. First term report cards will be sent home on January 31, 2014 with interviews taking place on February 6, 2014. Second term report cards will be sent home the week of June 23, 2014.

Parents are valued partners in the education of children and are encouraged to support learning at home and at school.

“When parents are engaged in their child’s learning, students do better in school and everyone benefits. Parents find it easier to help their child learn. Teachers and principals are better supported and enjoy positive relationships with parents. Students improve, classrooms improve, schools improve and the entire community benefits.” Planning Parent Engagement​
